A process is disclosed for the continuous production of an ABS resin. The polymerization step comprises at least two substeps, one being a first-stage substep of forming particles of the rubbery polymer and the other a second-stage substep of adjusting the particle sizes of the particles. The first-stage substep is conducted in a polymerization system making use of a plug flow reactor or a batch polymerization reactor, and conducts polymerization at least until the particles are formed in the polymerization mixture. The second-stage substep increases a converted amount of the monomer component into the polymer compared with that in the particle forming substep and makes the particles smaller. A polycarbonate-ABS resin composition is also disclosed.

A method for removing volatile materials, comprises adding a blowing aid to a polymer composition containing volatile materials, mixing them in a static mixing apparatus, and extruding the resultant mixture by an extruding apparatus into a devolatilizing tank, thereby the mixture is made to be blown, to cause removal of the volatile materials. First, the blowing aid (6) is discharged with an addition nozzle apparatus (2), in a direction opposite to the direction of the flow of the polymer composition (1), to be added, and the polymer composition is introduced into the static mixing apparatus (3), at a pressure at which the blowing does not take place, thereby mixing them. Then, using the extruding apparatus (11), the resultant mixture is extruded into the devolatilizing tank (4), so that the polymer is made into a blown product at such a temperature and a pressure that the blowing coefficient B is 1.4 or more, thereby causing the removal of volatile materials.
